Amaro Attempts for Worst Offense Ever

Michael Martinez is back. I just threw up a little in my mouth. Why? Hell, I don't know. Really, I have no f'n idea. Just when I thought Amaro couldn't do anything dumber, he turns around and does something like this and totally...shows he's dumber than I originally thought. Mini-Mart's career OPS is .509, which ranks 4th worst (426th out of 429) in MLB since 2011 (his debut, minimum 350 plate appearances). The three players below him (Chone Figgins, Drew Butera, and Reid Brignac) might never appear in the Majors again, as should be the case with Martinez. Yet, here he is wearing a Philadelphia Phillies uniform.

But wait, it gets worse. Mid-season acquisition, John McDonald, is ranked 417th out of 429 players over the same time frame with a .590 OPS.

Ask any baseball analyst, fan, or bum and they'll tell you the Phillies problems are with the bullpen and the OFFENSE. Why then, would Amaro put two of the worst offensive players on the same team at the same time?

Oh, and to fix the bullpen, he recalled Raul Valdes the other day. He of a 7.59 ERA.

Amaro has to be the first to go. I wouldn't want him putting together a fantasy baseball team(considering he should be great for it seems he is living in fantasyland) much less a major league team. I have to question last night's move by Cholly to have McDonald, who has been bounced around more than a tennis ball, to pinch hit for the pitcher in the fifth. Cholly was trying to get the offense going with the one guy who is on the team as a defensive replacement because he couldn't get a hit off a tee. Time to change not only the team, because that was a given, but the management as well. Cholly was already out the door but Amaro hasn't made anything easy on him and he has to be gone before he messes anything more up.

I know. I actually called the radio station the other day being that I was so fed up I had to vent and typing it online did little to vent the anger. The team is showing no fight. No one is angry at anything on the team. Us fans, going by the texts the last few nights are shocked at what we are seeing. We may not be as talented but when did that ever stop them from going out there and giving it all. Jroll is the leader and he looks bored. Imagine if CBP is empty the next time they are in town, will it send a message that more than just player changes need to be made?

With Mini Mart being recalled, that must mean JRoll trade is imminent. SS will be manned by Mini/MacMart platoon.

My Prediction of Amaro like moves now:Cliff Lee to the Rangers for a bullpen reliever MiniMart trade to Marlins will fail since they will not include Stanton and their top prospect.Howard given 5 additional years on his contract despite being on DLChad Durbin reappears on team

Who else can catch the ball in center for defense moving Mayberry to RF in the late innings?

Lost HalladayLost Hamels1/2 UtleyLost Howard to Knee for playing on repaired ankle.1/2 CoochBroken foot CF Revere.Lost Adams.All the Minor league relievers notworking out. Now Dom Brown out with Concusion.

Not the worst GM ever silly goose.This is s team sport. The Pitchingis the main problem.

Sir Alden- thing is, he should have known most of these problems were likely to occur. Every injury aside from Revere and Dom's were to be expected in some nature. That's what makes him a bad GM. That, and he wastes money- see Papelbon and Howard.
